Chapter 952 Xu Rongs Weakness
"Crack, snap, snap!"
A group of cavalry led by Xu Rong ran into the city noisily from outside the city gate of Luoyang. After the horses entered the street, the pedestrians and traders on both sides of the street fled.
Although Xu Rong is Liu Qi's personal general, in other words, he is the emperor's general, but for the people of Luoyang, especially the rich in Luoyang City and the surrounding rural rich, they do not like this emperor's favorite general.
Because Xu Rong was Dong Zhuo's subordinate in the past, and the crimes and atrocities committed by Dong Zhuo in Luoyang were naturally still fresh in the memory of the people of Luoyang.
Moreover, most of Xu Rong and his soldiers are from Liangzhou. They usually don't know how to keep a low profile, especially since they have a bad habit.
That is, I often go out hunting, and every time I go hunting, I do it in an extremely high-profile manner, which makes people jealous.
It takes five to seven days for them to go hunting and move, and after seven days, when they return to Luoyang City after hunting, they usually appear to be extremely high-profile.
Not only would they ride into the city and annoy the local people in Luoyang, they would also drag their captured prey back into the city on carts and put on a high-profile display inside and outside Luoyang City.
But there is no doubt that for the people in Luoyang City, this will undoubtedly make them more disgusted with this Xiliang native.
Looking at the Xiliang cavalry roaring in the city in the distance, Liu Bei showed a satisfied smile on his face.
He turned his head and said to Tang Xicheng, who was wearing casual clothes next to him: "Mr. Tang Xi, have you seen it?"
Both of them were wearing casual clothes, and they were hiding in the alleys to observe secretly... so no one really noticed them.
Tang Xicheng nodded heavily and said: "I see, these Liangzhou barbarians are now riding on the heads of us Central Plains people. It is really unbearable."
"Mr. Tangxi, don't be impatient. As expected, it won't take long for us to take back the initiative in Luoyang."
When Tang Xicheng heard this, he couldn't help but feel shocked.
"What do you mean by this?"
Liu Bei gently pointed at the Xiliang cavalry not far away and said: "Ever since the emperor left Luoyang, Bei has been looking for opportunities to find Xu Rong's flaws. However, Xu Rong has been using the army for many years and is proficient in the art of war and is good at forming formations.
, I have been observing for a long time and have never found any flaw in Xu Rong. Therefore, if you want to use ordinary methods to cause trouble, you will definitely not succeed."
Tang Xicheng frowned: "Then according to Xuande's words, we have no law to punish this Xu Rong?"
"If you can't cure him, why did you invite Duke Tang Xi here today to observe?" Liu Bei pointed at Xu Rong and a group of cavalry not far away, and said: "What they are doing now is their weakness!
"
Tang Xicheng looked at Liu Bei puzzled.
"He is always hunting everywhere from time to time, and he always takes his cronies and Liangzhou generals with him when he leaves. This is his weakness."
Tang Xicheng seemed to be a little enlightened when he heard this: "What Xuande means is that while Xu Rong leads his men out of the city for hunting, we can start an uprising in the city?"
Liu Bei nodded heavily and said: "Exactly! According to Bei's observation of Xu Rong's hunting during this period, Xu Rong usually goes out for more than five days every time he goes hunting, and the people he takes are all with him.
Those same Liangzhou cronies, I think Xu Rong only likes to lead his Liangzhou cronies to hunt, and as for other people, he seems not to be able to win over them."
"Five days..."
Tang Xicheng nodded slowly and said: "Five days are enough time if we want to carry out subversion in Luoyang... But I would like to ask Xuande to teach me how to act."
Liu Bei hurriedly said: "Don't dare, don't dare, how dare you say the word 'ask for advice'... In fact, according to what Bei thought, it is not difficult to take Xu Rong out of the city and take down Luoyang's city defense. The first thing is to seize the city."
The emperor's Xishou and Xu Rong are in charge of the tiger symbols of the three armies. Xu Rong is a general of the Liangzhou faction, but the troops stationed in the city are not all Liangzhou, but some of them are the emperor's soldiers. We don't like the people of Liangzhou, and they may not like them either.
As long as we seize these two things, issue a corrective edict in the name of the emperor, and seize the city defense and military arsenal, it is not difficult."
Tangxi Chengdao: "Is it really that easy?"
Liu Bei smiled and said: "Logically speaking, if Xu Rong leaves Luoyang alone, but his trusted Liangzhou generals are still in Luoyang, this matter will not be easy to handle, but these Liangzhou people go out to hunt."
At that time, they all gathered in groups, fearing that they would be trapped in the city. As a result, the Liangzhou trusted generals in his city were only one or two people. Liangzhou people were rough and fond of wine, and wanted to plot.
Capturing it is not difficult at all."
The more Tang Xicheng listened, the more excited he became, his eyes flashing back and forth.
Later, I heard Liu Bei say: "As soon as the imperial edict comes out, we will quickly control the palace and wait for the emperor and the queen to come forward to stabilize the situation in the city for us. Controlling the people in the palace is equivalent to holding hostages.
Even if the emperor drives his troops back, how can he attack the city at will and trap his father, wife and children in the flames of war? If he really does this, he will lose his reputation. He can only be overthrown day and night. If he hesitates because of this
, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao drove their troops to cover them up from behind, and they couldn't tolerate any further hesitation... In the end, he would also die!"
"What a plan! What a plan!"
Tang Xicheng's eyes sparkled, he clapped his hands vigorously and said: "What a good strategy. Xuande is indeed a talented general. With you here, great things will happen!"
"Let's just wait for Xu Rong to go out to the city for hunting next time."
"promise."
…
At the same time, in the Luoyang Palace, Cai Mi secretly went to see the Supreme Emperor Liu Biao and explained to him Liu Qi's true intention of leaving Luoyang for the Eastern Expedition.
"I don't agree!"
Liu Biao's face was pale, and the beard on his chin trembled back and forth along with the muscles on his face: "Is he going to let his hands be stained with blood? These people are all scholars! He wants his hands to be stained with blood,
Is it stained with the blood of scholars? I don’t agree, I don’t agree! Don’t forget, he is also a scholar! And he is also a party member!”
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Cai Mi did not refute Liu Biao, but just listened quietly to Liu Biao's nagging.
After Liu Biao finished expressing his emotions angrily, Cai Mi just said slowly: "My father is not willing to let His Majesty's hands be stained with the blood of scholars. As a result, I am afraid that the hands of these ministers will be stained with ours."
The blood of the whole family.”
"My father's blood, Your Majesty's blood, my concubine's blood...and the blood of my father's grandchildren."
Liu Biao's words were suddenly blocked.
He stared at Cai Mi blankly, speechless for a long time.
When I was young, I saw Liu Biao let out a long sigh: "To be able to say such words so calmly... You are such a cold person."
Cai Mi shook his head and said: "It's not that I'm cold, it's just that in my eyes, there aren't that many outsiders. I'm not big-hearted. I can only pretend to be members of the Liu family, but I can't pretend to be others."
Well... whether I am a scholar or not has nothing to do with me."
"Bo Yu teamed up with Liu Bei to plan this time to let the various families take the lead. He even did not hesitate to let them gather all the generals and warriors in the family to Luoyang to rebel, in order to eradicate the root cause once and for all?"
Cai Mi sighed: "What did Your Majesty think? He didn't tell me... But Father, since we are going to cause a bloody storm, why do we have to leave a way for them to escape, and then have to go to the bloody storm again in a few years?"
Once? Since it can be solved by killing once, there is no need to kill twice."
Liu Biao slowly raised his head, looked at Cai Mi and said, "Are you teaching me how to do things?"
"I don't dare."
"Well, since you and your wife have already decided, what's the use of my objections? At this point, we can't let outsiders come to kill our Liu family... What to do, you have to do it yourself."
"Thank you, Father, I will make arrangements for you."
After saying that, Cai Mi saluted Liu Biao, then turned and left.
Looking at Cai Mi's disappearing figure in his eyes, Liu Biao couldn't help but think of that time...
At the beginning, when he first entered Xiangyang, Cai Mao tried his best to get this woman to himself, but in the end he was married off by his son.
Now look at how it was so right for my son to do what he did in the first place.
In this world, even if her son can cure her... If it were me now, she would have to take control of everything.
